Tsuboki Massage is a wonderfully relaxing yet energising treatment . Based in part on the principles of acupressure it is a modern take on meridian theory, which goes back thousands of years in Japan and China.

Tsuboki Japanese Face Massage

It is comprised of four specific stages…

• Stage One Massage to the neck and shoulders to increase circulation to the face and reduce tension in these areas.
• Stage Two A detailed face massage using camellia oil, as traditionally used in Japan.
• Stage Three Working more then fifty tsubos and eight meridians.
• Stage Four Lymphatic drainage to eliminate toxins.

Face Massage is incredibly relaxing to receive, but seven of the eight meridians that run through the face are the yang or more energising ones. This may explain why clients often report feeling deeply relaxed during the massage but balanced and energised afterwards.

Treatments last just under an hour but I always allow plenty of time for some relaxation on the couch after the massage is over.
